Topic	Sweden's economy "the least harmed in Europe".
BalanceLost 07/22/20 9:35:14 AM #49:	Frolex posted... Like I already said, no doubting the possibility that leaving your citizens out to die will have a potential to mitigate the economic impacts of a pandemic in the immediate short term. The question is if prioritizing that mitigation over the health of your populace actually results in a positive public health strategy. Which it doesn't. The economic predictions now are of 2020 and the coming years so not just the closest point in time though. The road ahead and what it can look like is important for public health too in terms of available resources and the like. Regarding the virus, Sweden has had a continuous decline in deaths since April. Number of patients in hospitals are also declining (more get discharged and fewer are coming in). There was an increase in positive (mild) cases at the end of May and start of June because of increased testing but the number of positive cases has since kept falling. Testing keeps going up and positive cases keeps going down. --- "BalanceLost has a steam-powered PS2 because Sweden don't have electric" - dimeanatrix <cite>BalanceLost posted [p:942433539] in Sweden'...
